VN Cooling system. Series 1 or series 2?

[sik_dose]

I need a new radiator and am intrested if there is any benefit in changing a VN series 1 cooling system with the pressurised over flow to the series 2 system with the cap on top of the radiator and un pressureised over flow. It has a series 2 motor with series 1 cooling system at the moment.

only benefit i think would be that, it will be easier for you too replace the pressure cap in the long run. Not as easy to buy the reservoir pressure cap these days.

Dont do it. It ****ed my car. I had a VR rad in (Basically VN II) and it blew the pressure cap clean off the water tank and kept over heating.
